This is just a suggestion, but maybe you should post Wallflower's original name, Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge. Del Rey came up with the name Wallflower, and most fans know it as the original title, or by the more literal translation of the title "Perfect Girl Evolution".

Awww, not all of the manga for Wallpaper/Perfect Girl Evolution has come out yet (well, Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles isn't done either but...) in Japan. Sad The scanslation group may have to drop the project... Sad

They have already done so if they're going by the usual scanlation rules. If they haven't quit scanlating the titles, especially Tsubasa, then they're turning themselves into a pirated manga group.

Not that familiar with Othello, but The Wallflower is one of my favourites. It's a shoujo title invovling four bishounen and an introverted, occasionally quite violent goth girl. Very dark and very, very funny. And plenty of bishounen with their shirts off too ^_~

It's been a good week, what with this and Hale Nochi Guu being licensed...

Naze Nani Othello

Othello was a Shakesperian play about a high ranking Moor (Black man) who was a hero and had a Caucasian wife and whatnot. The villian, Iago, used other people to confuse Othello into doubting his friends, including his lover whom he killed with his own hands. In the end, just about everyone died and Iago was incarcerated.

Of course, I read that in 10th grade and I'm an icoming college freshman, so you'd better get some Cliffs Notes.

Anime smallmouth + sweatdrop Yeah, I kept wondering when that stuff would show up in the manga Othello, but so far there is no connection from what I've read.

Yeah, Othello was one heck of a sombering read. Kinda like the Merchant of Venice.

I dunno, my favorite Shakespeare play is still "Taming of the Shrew" just cause it's happier than his other plays.
